okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this is the page for struct mei_cl_vtag, which is literally the file pointer to vtag mapping structure. yes, that's the whole NAME vibe. it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct mei_cl_vtag {
struct list_head list;
const struct file *fp;
u8 vtag;
u8 pending_read:1;
};
that's it, that's the whole struct. four members. no cap. look at that bitfield though β one single bit for pending_read, she's β¨frugalβ¨ π
